λ Persei, Latinized as Lambda Persei, is a star in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.29.[2] This object is located approximately 422 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +6 km/s.[4]
In Chinese astronomy, Lambda Persei is called 積水, Pinyin: Jīshuǐ, meaning Stored Water, because this star is marking itself and stand alone in Stored Water asterism, Stomach mansion (see : Chinese constellation).[13]
